Australian Defence Industry Minister Christopher Pyne said: “APV’s Australian-designed and manufactured harnesses integrate into blast-absorbing seating to offer the highest levels of survivability and safety.

“This success is yet another win for Australia’s defence industry, and demonstrates the innovation and global competitiveness of our small to medium enterprises.

“APV formerly supplied the Australian car industry, and so this is a great example of an automotive business diversifying into other industries and it is exciting to see an Australian company playing a key role in keeping Australian and US troops safe in front line combat vehicles.”

“This success is yet another win for Australia’s defence industry.”

Pyne added said that the Australian defence industry will release a defence export strategy to build upon the successes and provide a comprehensive plan to further develop the country’s defence industry.
